Golden Nugget Atlantic City launched the first online live dealer offering in the New Jersey iGaming market Thursday through a partnership with specialist supplier Ezugi.

GoldenNuggetCasino.com went live with the games yesterday, expanding its existing portfolio of over 300 games. The new live dealer games include Blackjack, American Roulette and Dragon Bonus Baccarat table games.

Players can access the games from their computer or smartphone, anywhere in New Jersey.

In partnership with Ezugi NJ, Golden Nugget has built a sophisticated studio inside its Atlantic City casino to offer the digital gaming platform.

Ezugi runs the games in real-time so players can place real-money bets and interact with real dealers at the casino, as well as other players at the table, replicating the feeling of being on the casino floor. The company said that wagering, playability and payout are all calculated in microseconds and displayed in real time on the players’ screen.

“We are excited to be the first domestic online gaming operator to bring live dealer to the US,” said Golden Nugget chairman and CEO Tilman Fertitta. “This will clearly differentiate us from all other operators in the market, and we invite all online players to try this new and exciting online live gaming experience.”

Thomas Winter, vice president of online gaming at Golden Nugget, said that GoldenNuggetCasino.com was now more than ever the destination of choice for New Jersey online players.

“Online live dealer creates true convergence between the casino floor at Golden Nugget Atlantic City and our online casino, which will appeal to the more traditional casino players who have yet to enjoy online real-money gaming,” he said.

Ezugi CEO Kfir Kugler added: "We are honored to partner with Golden Nugget Atlantic City to bring the first ever online live dealer solution to New Jersey. Live dealer games are extremely engaging and belong in the US.”
